Audio problem with drivers

[Agent181]

So i just finished installing all the realtek drivers and then I plugged in my bose companion 5 which are usb speakers and they first worked gret but then stopped working unexpectedly and were not recognized.  Anyone Know how to fix this issue on windows 8.1 Pro?

Do you have multiple audio deivers installed? i.e Nvidia HD Audio?  They could be conflicting with one another.

in device manager remove the Bose if they are show there

 

look at the volume control panel and see if the output is set to the correct device

the speakers are just plug and play so they come without any drivers

There is the motherboard audio drivers, realtek audio, and the amd catalyst(not sure if that counts)

I figured it out, it was a compatabiliy problem with usb 3.0 to usb 2.0, i found an old usb cable extension and connected it that way so it works now.
